If your talking to me, it's because he is still one of my favorite directors due to the 4 movies above it. And Witness for the Prosecution and Sabrina are both better than The Lost Weekend.

I personally LOVE The Lost Weekend. It's not Wilder's best film, but I'm still amazed at its detailed reproduction of alcoholism. It's probably my favorite film about the subject.
